Running without the Idle Speed Control solenoid

I've been running without this for about a year now and was just wondering if anyone else does. It seems that alot of people blame this solenoid for many idle issues and as far as i know mine seems to be ok. I'm running this with the PFC so that might change things abit

I ran fine with mine unplugged as well. But didn't have any issues when I plugged it back in, other than taking longer to return to normal idle after revving..

The car will want to stall when its cold. Once its warmed up, it is fine. In my opinion it sounds alot better and more aggressive at idle without the solnoid.
